IMPROVEMENT IN BALlNG-PRESSES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 170,999, dated December 14,1875; application filed September 1, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER K. DEDERIcK, of the city and county of Albany, in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Baling-Presses; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in Which- I Figure 1 is a perspective view of a press, showing the application of my partition-strips; and Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the partitionstrips detached.

Similar letters of reference in the accompa' nyin g drawings denote the same parts.

This invention has for its object to improve the construction of that class of baling-presses which operate continuously; and consists in providing partition-strips, to be inserted between the bales through the longitudinal slots in the sides of the press-box, said strips having one or more longitudinal slots or grooves for the passage of the tie wires or hands, as hereinafter more fully described.

In the drawings, A represents the frame of a horizontal continuous press B, the aperture through which the material to be baled is fed to the pressing-chamber; and G, the solid traverser, operated by aorank-shaft, D, which plays within a transverse slot, E, as shown in Fig. 1. P P are the partition-strips, constructed with one or more longitudinal grooves,

19, for the passage of the tie-wires.

Eachstrip may be separate, or two or more may be united by a cross-piece, P, as preferred.

The press being set in operation, the material to be baled is fed through the aperture B, and the bale gradually formed in the pressbox. When the bale is sufficiently large, the partition-strips P P are passed through the longitudinal slots in the press-box behind the bale, and a new bale formed against them. The tie-wires can then be easily passed through the grooves 19 p, and the bale secured.

The grooves in the strips may be one or more in number, and located on top and bottom or sides thereof. 7

I claim as my invention Partition-strips for baling-presses, constructed with one or more longitudinal grooves for the passage of the tie-wires, and adapted to be inserted between the bales through the longitudinal slots in the sides of the 'pressbox, substantially as described. 7

PETER K. DEDERICK.
